Stellantis Cuts 100 Jobs at Windsor Assembly Plant Ahead of 2-Week Shutdown

What’s Happening at Stellantis?
Stellantis has reportedly axed approximately 100 jobs at its Windsor assembly plant ahead of a 2-week shutdown.
“The layoffs are based on seniority and are a result of regular volume adjustments at the plant,” LouAnn Gosselin, a spokesperson for the automaker, told CTV News.
It remains unclear if both unionized and non-unionized employees were affected by the workforce reduction.
The 2-week shutdown is part of a regular vacation period.
